Through 30 years of teaching I've heard the same refrain..."I love science, I love math but I can't stand my language classes".
Well enough is enough. Get over it. |

I wouldn't mind having this day repeat itself a few times. It would give us more time to work on our robot. |

[on practice robots:] Twice the work and twice the practice building seem to equal twice the experience so far. |

"Why even bother building a robot if we're not gonna win?". The answer? To learn and grow. |

FIRST involves school, parents, family etc etc....at least it does at our house! |

Right now, it drives around....hopefully tomorrow it will do a LOT more! |

The code won't compile if you violate the rules of the programming language...but English is more robust, it seems to work pretty well no matter how we engineering nerds mangle it! |

Then there's the electronics, pneumatics, and all that stuff on top that will magically make the ball score billions of points. That will add up to a lot of weight. |

The neat thing about regionals, is that they ARE big robot parties! |

The function of that part is to keep one student occupied playing with it during the entire build season. It doesn't have to be the same student all the time, they can take turns. |

We'll defintely be working on both the balancing 2 wheel robot, the 6 legged robot, and the wood chassis 8 wheel drive robot ideas this fall. |

but eventually it seems that we realize that there's an I in FIRST, and the I stands for Inspiration, not for "me" |

they used the same random number generator we used for our autonomous drive code . . . (oops did I say that?) |

We don't use fancy tools like that, but we might need some wood glue or something :) |

At this point in build season, I'm thinking that whatever type we can get built and working is the best type, by far! |

It's a game feature, they're helping us, please don't complain too loudly.... |

Having the ability, opportunity, and inclination to do manual labor makes you a better engineer. |

A couple of times during our matches, our HOSTBOT had a GAME PIECE right there ready to HANG, but the darn PEG dodged out of the way |

Experience...you can't buy it, you might be able to get some for free by reading CD a lot, but usually you have to earn it, and it's not always fun. |

I dont think it matters too much what you do, as long as you do something that lets you apply what you're learning in class. |

I'm really impressed with how much effort we'll go to, to avoid buying a $25 servo tester. |

Don't worry about someone stealing your ideas...if they're good ideas, then imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If they're lousy ideas, we'll let you know, so you can work on finding a better idea. win-win! |

I see all these people complaining about the FIRST game having perverse penalties for playing defense...then we play without defense, and still people complain. |

I put the encrypted manual file onto a 5-1/4" floppy disk, so I'll have it with me when I go to the kickoff event and pick up the kit. |

The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. |
